Scariest looking aliens from Dr Who:
1) Weeping Angels
2) Vashta Nerada
3) The Silence
Who agrees with me?
We all know dales are the least scariest
It's Silent.
The alien species are the Silents,
The religious order is The Silence.
One Silent, two Silents.
+Cole Morris I meant daleks
+Chocolate Minion (colee) I still wish the species had a better name. Genetically Modified Priest just doesn't roll off the tongue
Midnight entity?

The Tenth Doctor desperately needs a new hobby. Has he ever considered knitting? HE'S BEEN CALLING ME FOR WEEKS.
+CaptainChristel You should tell him to indulge in music more, perhaps write a composition or get a guitar or something along those lines.

Blink : Best Dr Who episode forever...
I think a real creep factor of the original blink angels over the others, is a sort of audience participation in the behaviour of the angels. They always appeared on camera as stone, even if no characters in the scene are looking at them. Anytime the camera was looking away you had no idea where they could appear next, and fear for the characters.
I'm so proud of Tom, it's astounding how far he's come. I remember when his channel was only a few subs strong, and now here he is with Christel Dee on the official Doctor Who UA-cam channel. This must be how that one famous footballer's mum felt when her son became famous.
Well done, Tom, you glorious bugger!
(Also great show everyone involved nice and enjoyable :) )
I think the reason the angels were moving slow in Flesh and Stone was because Amy was walking like she could see so they were confused and taking precaution.
It was great to see such creative and eerie monsters in an era if Doctor Who that was generally full of rubbish ones. Sarry Sparrow and Larry Nightingale also made such a great duo and it's a shame they were only there for a single episode.
I think Blink is easily one of the best Doctor Who episodes of all time. Its one of my favorites. The only thing I wish as that there had been an episode continuing on the adventure that Martha and The Doctor were on at the end of the episode, with the lizards and what not.
Then at the end, they would have been attacked by the Weeping Angels and sent to the past? Fantastic!
Love that intro Christel! So cool to see Tom from Epic Who on here, and love the fact you filmed it in the Experience, hope you all made it out ok!
As for Blink, a modern classic in my opinion!
Great review this week like usual! Awesome to see Tom on here :)
Great video! I'm so proud of Tom for making it on here!
It was a pleasure to meet you all. Thanks for inviting me on the show.
I have to say my thoughts on Blink still havnt changed, Im still very much not a fan
I feel the same way. The tenth doctor was my first doctor and I was pretty uncomfortable not having him there and in action!
+Ella Lance Im glad it's not just me
+EPIC WHO Thanks to you for coming along and for your pearls of wisdom Tom :)
The opening of this had me crying I was laughing so hard. Love you guys.
Incredible job Tom and all. I'm very proud.
Great Video! Interesting to hear all your thoughts on the story:)
Sally Sparrow as the new companion for Season 10?
+Book Keynes Or maybe a spinoff with Sally and Larry?
Sally Sparrow Joins The Doctor, Graham, Ryan, And Yaz. That’s My Dream. Or At Least, The 14th Doctor’s Companion.
Ah the weeping angels, the cause of my first sleep with the lights on.
The weeping angels are my absolute fave! Blink is also one my favorite episodes along with angels take Manhattan, and the one where the angles are chasing Amy,the 11th Doctor and river song through a forest! Basically any episode with the weeping angels and the 10th or 11th Doctor.
Thanks for reading out my answer guys, genuinely pleased that you had a good old "chin wag" (as 9 would put it) about my point on them moving :) - Theo
This episode seriously scared me for life !
Absolutely loved this episode! I've never been toooo big a fan of the weeping angels, but I do give them credit. they are creepy. My mind felt blown when Christel said "a Capaldi story with the weeping angels" I'd so be down for that!
OMG! I went there yesterday!
You all damn sure hit the nail on the head with your reasoning. By chance, I ended up watching the "Blink" episode before actually starting the series online. The first thing that became apparent to me was the music. It had this very haunting electrical production with violin crescendos. Not only that, but it has this chilly sort of bell that happens to keep the rhythm of the ambiance alive. It's plain out freaking chilling.
Then all of the creepiness happens. You're wondering where the doctor is, all of these coincidences spring to life and suddenly the angels start exerting their nature onto your life. They're such a dominating, but silent power that you have no choice, but to feel paranoid of their existence. Again, I started with Blink, but watching it gave me enlightenment. I didn't know who The Doctor was at that point, but that his explanation of the angels was amazing.
What really drove it home for me has to be, as you all stated, Sally Sparrow and the brother. They're just normal people, but they're inquisitive. They unknowingly find and figure out these clues laid for them. They're just two simple people, but they're amazingly simple. I don't know how I'd summarize them, but their actors and the emotions they conjure give me chills.
i have to admit just watching the episode "blink" literaly yesterday i was waiting and expecting one of the weeping angles in the back ground to move closer as the video continued
I got the Lego TARDIS for my birthday yesterday
Weeping angels is my favourite part of DW
I love weeping angels. The first time my sister showed them to me and I was scared to death. Lol. And I was actually spooked for a day or two. I'm not scared anymore but they are just so cool to me. One of the best monsters in Doctor Who.
The Dalek and Cybermanre aren´t really scary. The Angles are really unsettling but I find the Vashta Nerada even more scarier. Sinse silence in the library i always ha a slightly unpleasant feeling when i am in dark and shadowy places.
Soooo good !
hello he have got a season 10 of doctor who?
there was 4, the three mentioned & The Angels Take Manhattan
City of Death would be a cool review!
I just thought that there was a new doctor who episode from season 10 for a split second
I think it's fine when the weeping angles move slightly since it's as if they're not sure whether they're going to be caught or not, being cautious and staying in stone form. Whereas, if they can get away with it, they'll move at the blink of an eye and are full of colour.
*When the angles move in Flesh and Stone, I'd say it's because Amy's moving with her eyes closed (so they move), but as if she can see (so they remain stone).
is the weeping angle statue real or fake (i mean did you use a human to make it?)
where can I watch doctor who? and why did BBC take doctor who off of netflix?
This review is really funny. It hits the point !
I am really angry at everyone making short clips to this episode. They took away everything what was good about this episode and just left you with the cheap thrill. Because of this experience in several cases I NEVER WANTED TO SEE " BLINK " IN MY LIFE ! Luckily for me the Germans translated the title new so I became awaire of what I wss watching rather late and by then :.. I enjoyed this episode. So I am glad I have seen it from the beginning to the end. BLINK is full of great ideas and wonderufull emotional moments.
everytime i watch the episode , i want to say
"conglaturations , doctor who . now you made people to have agalmatophobia (fear of statues)"
I only recently watched a few episodes of the fan show. I rank Blink as one of, if not the best. But, although I liked them in Blink, I'm not a big weeping angel fan. I was surprised that there was not really much mention of what I liked most...the whole wibbly wobbly timey whimey aspect that permeates the whole story. This story came way before River Song arrived (at least in our perception of time). I've been a fan since the 80's. I may have missed a bit from the Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy years, I never got comfortable with Colin. The idea of The Doctor going back in and actually interfering with the past was sometimes used and was justified because he had always been a part of that past. So this was, for me, the first and best attempt to use the whole wibbly wobbly thing. The Doctor using information from his (and Sally's) future to work in her past with someone from Sally's present who gets sent into her past and then "communicate" with her in the present from her past.
Well, what i can say? I loved the episode with the weeping angels so much and yes, i totally agree with you, taking the doctor's power away and just focus in another completaly different point of view, just like in "Love and Monsters", was amazing. That's one of my favourite episodes because of this point. And about Sarah Sparrow... Wow, what a cute and wonderful girl. When i saw her for the first time i thought "God, if the Doctor's was a woman, it would be Sarah Sparrow." No joking!
As someone who lives in the US, where could I get my hands on a Totters Lane shirt like the one Tom is wearing?
Genius construct of a menacing alien
Cool indeed and first episode with the mighty Angels a great one
Subsequent Angel's appearances less epic
Theory on angles. They are primitive time lords an experiment or something went wrong this makes them immortal and evolved to have a quantum lock thingy
Thoughts?
This will always be the episode I show people to introduce them to Doctor Who.
I agree. Seeing the angels move ruined the "fear" I had for the angels.
it was super creepy to see the angels move in Time of Angels. to see how smooth and quietly they moved, you won't know anything unless you are looking at them.
I think the way they moved gave them an even creepier factor.
every shop I go to there is a statue and then I sprint out
woooo I KNOW THAT GUY!!! (all the hermits right now) ;)
I enjoyed the one off style of the episode
When is the next series coming out? T_T
+BrotherTree1
Spring 2017.
Interesting you mentioned that Larry was an early Rory because I actually thought they were the same actor...
The Weeping Angels concept degraded to the point where the Statue of Liberty was an Angel. Rubbish.
Well the Angels did have the power to turn regular ol' statues into their own
+Tether Rockatank No they did not
Odd Job they did.
Dlee645 are you my mummy
@@combustinghandshakes8617 maybe but only stone ones, since when was the Statue of Liberty made from stone
Cool
I just realised that Cathy had to live through WWII. The horrifying event she learned about in school that never quite seemed real was now her reality. 💔
I have been in the forest in the experience. It's brilliantly scary.
Also, Capaldi would scare the angels away.
The reason why I think Blink is named as "scary" is because it breaks the forth wall in the biggest way possible. If you look closely at the episode, you can see that the angels move when the characters AS WELL AS the audience are not looking. This is best shown at 4:07 - when 'our' (the audiences) view of the angel is blocked by Sally and therefore, the angel moves - after all, "an angel can not be observed by any living creature". This is also present at again at 10:45 . Basically, Blink involves the audience with the 'theory' of the episode.
Before Blink Moffat turned a gas mask into something terrifying.
I'm only scared of them if it's dark and I'm on my own.
When will there be a new episode of Doctor who
Christmas 2016, series 10 will start in spring 2017
Tom i luv u an am ur bigust fan
review pyramids of Mars please
I second that.
Third
fourth
Fifth
+TELEPOTATOE sixth
Btw a good starting place to watch is an unearthly child? XD where was that haha but I do like this story even tho it's not my favorite :)
YES YES YES YES YES YES
Blink was good - but as far as a non-Doctor episode goes I prefer 'Turn left' with Donna taking center stage.
+BritGirlJay Yup, Blink was an excellent story, well told, well acted. But 'Turn Left' had a pitch-black darkness, that just chilled me. How quickly the world turned cruel without the Doctor. Extermination Camps!!!
oh my god, i hate angels! they are terrifying. if i were in the Terror Hotel, i'd have a room with Weeping Angels....argh you says the fandom life is easy?!?!
Can you plz put it back on Netflix plz
Best episode of new who
did doctor who end? I'm scared not seeing any doctor who
post more videos i am the best fan of doctor who
The key to WHOm the Doctor is partly lying with the Weeping Angels;
(the new Universetimeline (the one containing River Song) that began with episode Big Bang an June 26th 2010-(and sneakily also heard about and that ALSO began in Episode Doomsday; yeah 26th of June 2010 was also seen in that episode)
In the classic Doctor Who Universetimeline (seen 1963-2006 2010 and during the 50th and for 1min during series 8 when Clara took the TARDIS back into the classic Universetimeline (when the saftey feature normally preventing this was deactivated)
If it is complicated to see this; think; Gallifrey was transported away from the classic Universetimeline to the New Universetimeline.
BUT
as said; the key to whom the Doctor is and partly explained thru the Weeping angels are:
that In the classic Universetimeline there "once" existed the exact same thing as the weeping angels in that "classic" Universetimeline:
The Ragnarrookians; as per seen in 7th Doctor story; The greatest show in the Galaxy:
and this point at a Timelord/Weeping angel connection: and the bit about Rassilon last act in the classic Universetimeline was to activate a Ascension device. (as per mentioned in End of TIme pt 2)'
= When the Doctor(s) transported away Gallifrey past and thru the void (between Universis)and into the new Universetimeline:
The transport interfered with the ascension process that was set in motion and thus "stopping/slowing down" the Ascention process that Rassilon just had set in motion:
And Only those present in the Gallifreyan High counsil was fully asended before the procees was halted
=Missy is not just the Master: She is also the new Universetimeline version of the Black Guardian. (of the Guardians of time)
=Rassilon is the new Celestial Toymaker
AND here the big twist comes:
Half of the BAD WOLF entitiy is also ascended in the process. And became the new White Guardian.
Because both Rose and Jackie Tyler was present at the Gallifreyan High counsil (in End of time pt2)
(we know this becase of the events seen in episode Doomsday/Journeys end + Fathers Day/Rings of Akahaten+ what the Moment said in the 50th special about Rose (Bad Wolf girl) Tyler being both in the Doctors past and future)
AS the Doctor is Full/Half brother to Rose Tyler = aka Half Human (Jackie Tyler) and half extra terestrial (Pete Tyler) AND being the child of TWO diffrent Universetimelines = The Hybrid)
and the Valeyard/Meta crysis is The Master´s father = Rose Tyler is the Master´s mother
and Yeah that parallel Earth was at some time after the Cybermen conqured that "parallel" Earth transported into the Classic series Universetimeline into our Solar system and became the TwinEarth known as Mondas. (same planet moving process as seen in Stolen Earth/Journeys End)
and the Refugess (that was saved by a diffrent Doctor then our Doctor (aka Tony Tyler)) from that Earth(Mondas) later become the Timelords (aka how Rose/Jackie Tyler ended up in the Gallifreyan High Counsil in the episode End of time)
(and that diffrent Doctor became with time the Timelords curator/caretaker we know as Rassilon (whoms Timemachine stands as a huge dark towerin a death zone on Gallifrey /Just as our Doctors Timemachine one day will do on Trenzalore.)
All this partly deducable from the Weeping Angel/Ragnarookian connection. (and Yeah the doctor being perhaps from a diffrent Unvierse was hinted about during the 2nd season of the 7th Docotor story Ghostlight (4th part toward the end)
ANd Yeay The Timelords (out side the Gallifreyan High counsil) on Gallifrey will be trapped in a half alive Half ascend state (the Weeping angels) as both the ppl and Gallifrey it self will be transformed (into becoming Trenzalore)
And Yeah Clara Oswald is the same as Tony Tyler once was: also a 2 universehybrid as per hinted about in the begining of Rings of Akahaten; when Claras mother saved Calras father and the hidden voice when the car should had killed....(Directly comparable to episode Fathers Day that made our Doctors birth possible in the future/past.....
= Alswho y the 9th returned to life in the church)
A Weeping Angel companion? What? LOL
weeping angel's
I love docotor who plz bring back david tennant he my fave
Don't wamt to bescmirch the work do e on this fan show, bit is that what we can expext until the real show comes back on?
I realise that the Fan Show is really a part of Doctor Who marketing so this will probably never happen, but I'd love to see one of these episodes where they tackle a really notoriously bad episode like 'The Twin Dilemma' or 'Kill the Moon' and are just allowed to let rip on it.
i wish sally sparrow would come back
The problem is what Stephen has done with the Angels since then and completely neutered them and made them not scary.
Pro tip: If you want your kids to not be scared of the Weeping Angels after watching this episode just showing them the DW: Confidential for Blink where they put the makeup on.
Doctor who is the best show on earth

I read somewhere that Moffat wrote Larry to be based on Lawrence Miles, a writer who contributed to a lot of the novels during the hiatus and is...well...a bit of a self-satisfied, unlikeable jerk. He systematically pissed off all of the writers and creative people he knew during the 90s, many of whom have gone on to do stuff with the BBC and Big Finish. Miles wrote a scathing review of 'The Unquiet Dead' in 2005 insisting that the Gelth represented asylum seekers and Gatiss was pushing an anti-immigration message. So when Larry smugly says he believes that "Look to your left" was meant as a political statement, this is supposedly Moffat referencing Miles. I'd be interested to know if this is true.
+MeBeMat
Most likely not.
Is this a serious review? I thought it was an April Fools prank...
Why wouldn't it be serious?
i ate chrystal so much!!1!

"Chrystal"
+joshy mann I hate*
Blink has be reviewed, analysed and overexposed so much that it's becoming boring now.
+manzilla48 I remember when Blink was this hidden gemstone amongst so many episodes of science fiction shows out there, an episode that not many people knew about. Now, if you tell somebody on the street "don't blink" they'll run for their lives.
